Objectives in dramatics

In the introductory chapter the problem of this study was set forth in terms of certain questions concerning objectives in dramatics in the high schools of Virginia. The subsequent chapters recorded a search for data which might yield acceptable answers to these questions. Thus, Chapters II and III related the manner in which a list of objectives has been formulated. Chapter IV recorded the development of an instrument for discovering whether the objectives listed were those toward which dramatics activities were being directed in a given group of schools. It also gave the statistical results obtained from its use in 61 Virginia high schools. The chapter is to present an interpretation and summary of these data. Logic would suggest that the interpretation of data begin with a consideration of the questions.
